This category includes topics that are increasingly important to the submarine industry, such as: sustainable networks, sensing, and non-telecom applications. Subsea cables are part of global infrastructure that not only provides connectivity, but it also facilitates broad cross-industry collaborations and takes part on environmental and social responsibility. Authors are encouraged to explore technological advances both in hardware and software, applications, crossindustry approaches, etc.
“Having the opportunity to chair this category is a highly motivating challenge for us. This domain of subsea technology applications has seen tremendous developments during the last years. While SMART cable technology is becoming a reality, advances in fibre sensing is bringing a large set of solutions for many applications. Following the increasing focus of our communities on carbon footprint reduction and eco-friendly practices, we all have the duty to explore all possible solutions to make our industry less impacting to our planet, and we are looking forward to more initiatives to be shared during the conference. In addition, we expect to see different examples on how the submarine optical technology is contributing to the blue economy”.
